What a weird title. They are completely 2 different, independent things. Just to be categorized with AI hype articles...

I create proper libraries. I don't do snippets because they make code dirty, redundant and difficult to read on the long run.

I actively discourage people in my team to use snippets copy and pasted everywhere themselves. If it's reusable code, it should be usable by everyone and well tested

99% it's not AI, it is just an old school linear model, the one they have been using for decades, implemented on Excel, that they now call AI.

I know people working in insurance...

Millennials as well. I get bored with modern games. Grinding all day for a pink weapon skin. Tf, I don't care what color are my skins. Give me a good old challenge

I work in ML and AI and I strongly believe that reduced hours, wfh and universal basic income are needed. All new technologies can help us living a better life, it doesn't make sense using them to build a worst society

For me the rule that has always worked is "bet everything on open-source". It has always paid off.

When people at uni used Matlab, I learned R (before R-studio even existed) and python. I moved to linux as soon as I could. I never wanted to learn anything MS or Apple specific, or proprietary technologies such as visual studio, excel, vba, c#, SAS. I went on docker ASAP...

Now the world in my field runs on open source tecnologies, and I am the leaders of the "new stuff" wherever company I go.

On the long term learning open source solutions is always a win. Best case scenario it becomes the industry standard, worst case scenario it gives you the know how to master proprietary tools

More than 5 years then. The comic was right, with the difference that it took more than 1 single team of researchers to solve it

As a windows user in corporate IT. It just doesn't work. I spend most of my time hacking my way through useless unix pseudo toys, wsl2, cygwin, mingw... Each one for every tool because... Reasons. And because wsl2 is just painful. So we spend time creating fake unix virtual machines via docker on kubernetes using vs code remotely on expensive linux clusters... Frustrating.

Go home and turn on a linux laptop just to see a real functional terminal. Deep breath, zen, cathartic.

Windows makes my otherwise fine daily work miserable.

I hate enterprise IT. Built for sending around emails and working with excel sheets.

I am seriously thinking about starting an AI start up just to avoid risking another windows laptop switching job (they always promise cool stuff, at the end they always deliver overpriced windows garbage, my 8 years old laptop is more functional than their $ 3k notebook)

I don't agree with this piece. Labor exploitation has been a thing for much longer than silicon valley, as well as wall street. Modern ceos are applying old strategies. They are managing to do it more effectively now than in the recent past because governments are weaker and international competition stronger

Sugar is not bad. Abuse of sugar is bad. Sugar is absolutely fine, as long as one doesn't exceed. Problem is that in American-inspired diets sugar is everywhere at gigantic doses

How are they called "tech companies"? Are they not just delivery companies?

Not criticizing, just asking

The article is very badly written. The problem is windows vulnerability, it is not the open source software. The open source software is just a simple vector to exploit the vulnerability. Others could be out there

I am having trouble finding a pseudo-curated feed of posts in Lemmy. What is a good starting point, the "front page", as it is r/all for reddit?
